启示录 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
寄信给以弗所
2 “你要写信给以弗所教会的使者说:‘那右手拿着七星、在七个金灯台中间行走的说: 2 我知道你的行为、劳碌、忍耐,也知道你不能容忍恶人。你也曾试验那自称为使徒却不是使徒的,看出他们是假的来。 3 你也能忍耐,曾为我的名劳苦,并不乏倦。
丢了起初的爱心
4 ‘然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你把起初的爱心离弃了。 5 所以,应当回想你是从哪里坠落的,并要悔改,行起初所行的事。你若不悔改,我就临到你那里,把你的灯台从原处挪去。 6 然而,你还有一件可取的事,就是你恨恶尼哥拉一党人的行为,这也是我所恨恶的。 7 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。’
寄信给士每拿
8 “你要写信给士每拿教会的使者说:‘那首先的、末后的、死过又活的说: 9 我知道你的患难、你的贫穷,你却是富足的;也知道那自称是犹太人所说的毁谤话,其实他们不是犹太人,乃是撒旦一会的人。
至死忠心必得生命冠冕
10 ‘你将要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里,叫你们被试炼,你们必受患难十日。你务要至死忠心,我就赐给你那生命的冠冕。 11 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,必不受第二次死的害。’
寄信给别迦摩
12 “你要写信给别迦摩教会的使者说:‘那有两刃利剑的说: 13 我知道你的居所,就是有撒旦座位之处。当我忠心的见证人安提帕在你们中间、撒旦所住的地方被杀之时,你还坚守我的名,没有弃绝我的道。 14 然而,有几件事我要责备你,因为在你那里,有人服从了巴兰的教训。这巴兰曾教导巴勒将绊脚石放在以色列人面前,叫他们吃祭偶像之物,行奸淫的事。 15 你那里也有人照样服从了尼哥拉一党人的教训。
当悔改
16 ‘所以,你当悔改!若不悔改,我就快临到你那里,用我口中的剑攻击他们。 17 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!得胜的,我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他,并赐他一块白石,石上写着新名,除了那领受的以外,没有人能认识。’
寄信给推雅推喇
18 “你要写信给推雅推喇教会的使者说:‘那眼目如火焰、脚像光明铜的神之子说: 19 我知道你的行为、爱心、信心、勤劳、忍耐,又知道你末后所行的善事比起初所行的更多。 20 然而,有一件事我要责备你,就是你容让那自称是先知的妇人耶洗别教导我的仆人,引诱他们行奸淫,吃祭偶像之物。 21 我曾给她悔改的机会,她却不肯悔改她的淫行。 22 看哪,我要叫她病卧在床;那些与她行淫的人,若不悔改所行的,我也要叫他们同受大患难。 23 我又要杀死她的党类[a],叫众教会知道我是那察看人肺腑心肠的,并要照你们的行为报应你们各人。
当持守等到主来
24 ‘至于你们推雅推喇其余的人,就是一切不从那教训、不晓得他们素常所说撒旦深奥之理的人,我告诉你们:我不将别的担子放在你们身上; 25 但你们已经有的,总要持守,直等到我来。 26 那得胜又遵守我命令到底的,我要赐给他权柄制伏列国, 27 他必用铁杖辖管[b]他们,将他们如同窑户的瓦器打得粉碎,像我从我父领受的权柄一样。 28 我又要把晨星赐给他。 29 圣灵向众教会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听!’

The Letters to the Seven Churches
The Letter to Ephesus
2 “Write to the angel[a] of the church in Ephesus: Thus says the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands:(A) 2 I know your works, your labor, and your endurance,(B) and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not,(C) and you have found them to be liars.(D) 3 I know that you have persevered and endured hardships for the sake of my name,(E) and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first.(F) 5 Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first.(G) Otherwise, I will come to you[b] and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give(H) the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in[c] the paradise of God.(I)
The Letter to Smyrna
8 “Write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: Thus says the First and the Last,(J) the one who was dead and came to life: 9 I know your[d] affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.(K) 10 Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil(L) is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will experience affliction for ten days.(M) Be faithful to the point of death,(N) and I will give you the crown[e] of life.(O)
11 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.(P)
The Letter to Pergamum
12 “Write to the angel of the church in Pergamum: Thus says the one who has the sharp, double-edged sword: (Q) 13 I know[f] where you live—where Satan’s throne is. Yet you are holding on to my name and did not deny your faith in me,[g](R) even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness(S) who was put to death among you, where Satan lives. 14 But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam,(T) who taught Balak to place a stumbling block[h] in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols(U) and to commit sexual immorality.(V) 15 In the same way, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans.[i] 16 So repent! Otherwise, I will come to you quickly(W) and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.(X)
17 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna.[j](Y) I will also give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name(Z) is inscribed that no one knows except the one who receives it.
The Letter to Thyatira
18 “Write to the angel of the church in Thyatira: Thus says the Son of God,(AA) the one whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like fine bronze:(AB) 19 I know your works—your love, faithfulness,[k] service, and endurance.(AC) I know that your last works are greater than the first. 20 But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel,(AD) who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols.(AE) 21 I gave her time to repent,(AF) but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality.(AG) 22 Look, I will throw her into a sickbed(AH) and those who commit adultery with her(AI) into great affliction.(AJ) Unless they repent of her[l] works, 23 I will strike her children dead.[m](AK) Then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines minds and hearts,(AL) and I will give to each of you according to your works.(AM) 24 I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known “the so-called secrets[n](AN) of Satan”(AO) —as they say—I am not putting any other burden on you.(AP) 25 Only hold on to what you have until I come.(AQ) 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations—
28 just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star.(AT)
29 “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the Church in Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in (A)Ephesus write:
This is what the One who holds (B)the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks [a](C)among the seven golden lampstands, says:
2 ‘(D)I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot bear with those who are evil, and you (E)put to the test those who call themselves (F)apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have [b]endured (G)for My name’s sake, you also have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have (H)left your first love. 5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and (I)repent and (J)do the [c]deeds you did at first. But if not, I am coming to you and will remove your (K)lampstand out of its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the (L)Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 (M)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (N)To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of (O)the tree of life which is in the (P)Paradise of God.’
To the Church in Smyrna
8 “And to the angel of the church in (Q)Smyrna write:
(R)This is what the first and the last, who [d](S)was dead, and has come to life, says:
9 ‘I know your (T)tribulation and your (U)poverty (but you are (V)rich), and the blasphemy by those who (W)say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of (X)Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be (Y)tested, and you will have tribulation (Z)for ten days. [e]Be (AA)faithful until death, and I will give you (AB)the crown of life. 11 (AC)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (AD)He who overcomes will never be hurt by the (AE)second death.’
To the Church in Pergamum
12 “And to the angel of the church in (AF)Pergamum write:
This is what the One who has (AG)the sharp two-edged sword says:
13 ‘I know where you dwell, where (AH)Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny (AI)My faith even in the days of Antipas, My (AJ)witness, My (AK)faithful one, who was killed among you, (AL)where Satan dwells. 14 But (AM)I have a few things against you, that you have there some who hold the (AN)teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, (AO)to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. 15 So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the (AP)Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore (AQ)repent. But if not, (AR)I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with (AS)the sword of My mouth. 17 (AT)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (AU)To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden (AV)manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a (AW)new name written on the stone (AX)which no one knows but he who receives it.’
To the Church in Thyatira
18 “And to the angel of the church in (AY)Thyatira write:
(AZ)This is what the Son of God, the One (BA)who has [f]eyes like a flame of fire and His feet are like burnished bronze, says:
19 ‘(BB)I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your last deeds are greater than [g]at first. 20 But (BC)I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman (BD)Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and deceives My slaves so that they (BE)commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 (BF)And I gave her time to repent, and she (BG)does not wish to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her [h]on a bed of sickness, and those who (BH)commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of [i]her deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with [j]pestilence, and all the churches will know that I am He who (BI)searches the [k]minds and hearts; and (BJ)I will give to each one of you according to your deeds. 24 But I say to you, the rest who are in (BK)Thyatira, who do not have this teaching, who have not known the (BL)deep things of Satan, as they call them—I (BM)place no other burden on you. 25 Nevertheless (BN)what you have, hold fast (BO)until I come. 26 (BP)And he who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds (BQ)until the end, (BR)to him I will give authority over the [l]nations; 27 and he shall [m](BS)rule them with a rod of iron, (BT)as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28 and I will give him (BU)the morning star. 29 (BV)He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
